I found out from Lifeskate that the American Girls series actually now includes Mia St. Clair, a girl who dreams of being a figure skater - and she's the most popular one! I had no idea. And apparently, she is the "Girl of the Year," and even has her own video game. I really wish she were around when I was little. I got Samantha, who was very pretty, with brown hair and brown eyes and cute little rich girl dresses. But I think I could probably have related more with Mia, and her figure skating dreams. This is also exciting because maybe it is introducing a whole new generation of American girls to the sport, now that there's no major star like Michelle Kwan to draw them all in. I've seen those American Girl doll stores - I know how fanatical these girls are about their dolls!
